클라우드 현황 - 라틴아메리카(2025년)

Since 2010, Frost & Sullivan has conducted an annual survey involving cloud decision-makers in both information technology and business areas. The purpose of this survey is to understand perspectives, choices, and acquisition strategies of organizations worldwide concerning cloud technologies.

In this report, Frost & Sullivan examines and analyzes results from its 2025 survey specifically related to Latin America. The data is derived from respondents operating in the four largest markets in the region: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia.

Key Findings Include:

- Technology adoption continues advancing across Latin America, with cloud now considered essential infrastructure. Organizations are no longer debating adoption, but refining how cloud enables efficiency, agility, and scalable growth.

- Despite accelerating AI adoption, data growth across the region has moderated. Companies are shifting from accumulation toward data efficiency, governance, and value extraction.

- While cloud remains the central foundation of IT for enterprises, AI, automation, and data analytics are growing technology investment priorities. Enterprises are consolidating spend around foundational capabilities that enable AI value and measurable ROI.

- Governance, skills, and operational complexity are now the main barriers to cloud value. Adoption is outpacing organizational readiness, particularly in cost optimization and multi?environment management.

- Cloud cost optimization has become a continuous operational discipline. Automation, rightsizing, and waste reduction are freeing resources to fund AI and innovation initiatives.

- Sustainability is gaining executive attention but faces execution constraints. High costs, limited expertise, and measurement challenges are slowing progress amid rising energy?intensive workloads.

- Reliance on third?party partners remained high in 2024-2025, though it began to level off with the world. Skills gaps, AI enablement, and cloud cost optimization continue to drive the demand for managed service providers.
